The 38th Berck International Kite Festival gets underway on a sunny day in Northern France.
Tens of thousands of visitors stroll along the Berck seafront to watch the kites dance in the sky.
The kite flyers have been preparing for a long time, especially the acrobats, who rehearse their performance right up until the last minute.
This year, North and South America are in the spotlight, with a team from Colombia coming to highlight their tradition.
